Air Platform Integration // Support

Black Diamond Advanced Technology is taking digital communications and targeting capabilities to the next level. Not only are we revolutionizing digital communications on the ground, but are now equipping air platforms that organically do not have digital communications and moving map capability with a carry-on system that allows for seamless machine to machine interface from the air to the ground and the ground to the air.

Carry-On Capabilities

Our systems allow for a complete carry-on, organic capability that does not have to interface the air platform itself. Our systems provide the pilot with the digital information from the ground to a knee board on a full-color digital moving map over a tactical secure radio interface utilizing the NATO standard for digital communications.

Precision, Speed & Safety

This digital information exchange between the air platform and the ground system allows for faster, more precise and safer engagements while minimizing radio traffic. Coupled with no air platform modifications and a very quick pilot training profile this system can be deployed in days not years.

Mission Configurable

The APEx Predator System (APS) and MTS allow a warfighter to transition from computer operation to direct tactical engagement in seconds. Our wearable systems are incorporated into a compact plate carrier system, without compromising any of the certified ballistics protection. A warfighter doesn’t need to stop, put down gear and lose time in a stationary position while powering up or repacking equipment. BDATech’s goal was to create a wearable computer solution as a complete system, providing true “on the move” performance and situational awareness for a variety of applications, including targeting (JTACs, TACPs and Forward Observers), Combat Medics, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Combat Weather and Military Intelligence.

APEx Predator System

The APEx Predator System provides POWER + DATA, enabling communications from tactical radios and peripherals to commercial tablets, computers and smartphones running both Windows and Android operating systems.

Black Diamond
Cables

Easily and quickly connect end-user devices directly to your radio with BDATech cables.

Multiple Radios /
Peripherals

Incorporating the APEx Predator System enables connection of up to four radio peripherals devices, managing them from a single end-user device. You can also daisy chain additional APEx Systems together or Black Diamond’s Tactical I/O Expansion Hub.

Power
Management

Employing BDATech’s power management system allows you to power and charge your tactical solution from a single battery system (5590/2590), ensuring you’re operational when you need to be.

“Trickle-Charge”
Mode

In battery trickle-charge mode, the Wedge is designed to maintain the charge of the installed radio battery and slowly recharge (a.k.a., trickle-charge) that radio battery. In this mode, the wedge will keep the radio battery topped off except during times of extended radio.

Battery Elimination

Battery eliminator mode reduces weight of the entire system by removing the need for the radio battery and any spare batteries that might be carried. It also reduces the height of the radio, and when positioned at the front right or front left of the body, leaves extra room for shouldering a weapon.

System Battery Charge

Recharge the main system battery every time you jump into a vehicle or even scavenge power from other batteries.
